We examined the extent to which coders reach consensus and are accurate in detecting grandiose narcissism in others based on reading transcripts of interviews. We obtained personality questionnaires and semi-structured interviews about reasoning concerning several common, everyday transgressions from 147 people.

Results revealed that even with minimal cues, to some extent coders were able to detect the narcissistic qualities of others.
